Today we take an international tour that exposes us to musical artists who have performed songs about Hong Kong. The tour includes performances by hip-hop, blues, rock, electronic, pop, rock and jazz artists who have focused their attention on Hong Kong. Artists include Gorillaz, George Harrison, Fabian, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and others. This also represents the final show of Season 1 of Hong Kong 360. The show will take a summer break, returning this fall with a fresh slate of shows. Listeners can find archived shows on the Radio Lantau website. Have a great summer!

Today we talk with Jennifer Lai, who is the Managing Partner and Head of Business of Henley & Partners in North Asia, here in Hong Kong. She is a long-time global business manager with extensive experience in international business development with a focus on China. Fluent in several languages spanning Europe and Asia, she previously worked in a European risk consultancy firm, where she acquired extensive experiences in international risk and mitigation for expanding global companies. In this episode, she talks about mobility, setting up a property/residency in another country, and the things to consider when moving around the world.

This week we talk with Robert Bauer, who is Honorary Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Hong Kong. Bauer came to Asia in 1973 to study Mandarin Chinese at the Stanford Center at the National Taiwan University in Taipei. He has lived continuously in Hong Kong since 1997, and for 11 and-a-half years taught sociolinguistics and contrastive phonologies of Cantonese, Putonghua, and English. In 2014, Hong Kong’s Education Department stated on its website that Cantonese was not an official language of Hong Kong, which drew the ire of Hong Kong residents. Bauer is a fierce supporter of Cantonese and warns that the language will lose currency unless something is done to protect, promote and keep it relevant.
